Sydney hotels near Site of the First Government House

Cons: My second reception experience - arrived early and room not ready. Very helpful chap checked me in, checking photo ID and giving me spa key so I could freshen up after long flight. Promised a text when room ready and promised this would be within 2 hours. Returned from run to see if room ready having not received text in spite of two and a half hours having elapsed. Female receptionist insisting in seeing ID again which seemed utterly superfluous to requirements. When asked why I hadn't received a text she said that the "room has just this moment become ready". Amazing coincidence. ended up being late for an appointment because she was so reluctant to relinquish the key without me having to go and find my photo ID even though it was obvious I had already checked in and knew all the details.

Cons: The sheets were too heavy I found, I struggled to get comfortable.

Cons: Received worst room imagined. Low floor, dirty windows, bad views, receptionist lied about restaurant open at 10PM, Burger cost $30 plus tip, water in room was $10, room was expensive at about $300/night, no loyalty program with airlines except Qantas, shower was open with no door, no microwave, no real conveniences, small room.

Cons: Absolutely nothing not to like.

Cons: Construction around hotel is terrible. Gym and pool are old and needs to be updated. This hotel is the worst four seasons I’ve ever seen.

Cons: Facade could use an update but the inside is very nice

Cons: They need to replace the little ottoman in the room with a 2nd chair. The king size pillows are too long and too heavy.

Cons: I REALLY have an issue with the use of so many plastic water bottles. It is nice to have them in the room for many, I know...and to have them to carry around, as well. But...in the gym? C'mon. Use a filtered water system, or at least have one available so that when you run out of your own water, you can refill it without having to use yet another plastic water bottle. For the cost of the bottles and the disposal, reusable ones could probably be provided to every guest.

Cons: Construction was going on

Cons: Very convince

Cons: The only thing i can think that wasn’t stellar was the tv station selection in the room. That’s hardly a reason to select any hotel- just a way to wind down before bed. The pros far outweigh this one con :)

Cons: nothing

Cons: Better sign out the front of hotel

Cons: This is not a hotel. It's a 1 bed flat (with old style carpet) and definitely does not feel like a high end hotel. Wifi never worked in 4 days despite repeatedly asking to have it fixed. I asked for a plug adaptor and was told to go and buy one (whilst other hotels in Australia always had one for foreign travelers). Breakfast 3 to low 4 star. There are plenty of nice hotels in the area. As a accor platinum card holder as decided to stay there. Never again,

Cons: The hotel is a construction site. Hotel not worthy of its rating. Four seasons and comparably located and priced hotels infinitely better. Beds uncomfortable, room not vacuumed

Cons: Booking was for three adults but only allowed two complement breakfast. A bit strange.

Cons: Restaurant hours, elevators, concierge

Cons: "City view" really means a view of another bldg.

Cons: It was under construction while we were there. Was not made aware of the extent of the construction. Elevators were slow and aggravating. Was there a week and never got to know any of the staff.

Cons: If I had to be picky, it would have been nice, esp in such a hot climate, to have at least two bottle of waters offered without cost.

Cons: Small indoor pool with no jacuzzi

Cons: Rooms not cleaned every day

Cons: Bathroom smelt like mildew

Cons: Not much shopping in the area.

Cons: Not much

Cons: The bathroom in 4-10 needs a good clean in all the grouting, especially joining the walls to the floor and the fixtures. Was expecting better for the class and cost of this hotel
